So we have the 71 Demon and 68 Coronet Hdtp kits coming out; what's next that will knock our socks off?

[GMP440]

I'm thinking the next big thing coming out could be the AMT 67 Galaxie.  Just a guess.

 

[stavanzer]

I'm thinking it will be something totally off our radar right now.

Steve G and the Kats seem to save the real surprises for kits/subjects that nobody saw coming.

Whatever the "Next Big Reveal" is, my bet is that it is something nobody expects.

[Dave Darby]

I nominate the 65 Barracuda, 67 Cougar, and 59 Buick. And the 68 Charger. Yeah. Those would work. What say you?

[1972coronet]

Rumour has it - and it's just that: a rumour - that the MPC 1971/1972 Road Runner is 'under review'.

Aside from that : how's about the MPC 1971 Challenger and/or 1971 Barracuda annuals "reimagined" ?

[PintoKING]

My nominations: MPC '81 Chevette, MPC '87? Cavalier, MPC Mako-Shark II, MPC Cosma-Ray Corvette, MPC Vette-Van, AMT AMC Matador (stock interior and AMT/X custom option), ERTL International F-2575 and F-2674 and 4270 trucks, ERTL John-Deere backhoe, MPC '68-'69 Impala, MPC Pro-Stock Pintos (with stock building option), MPC Pro-Stock Mustang II, MPC '74 Charger. That's it for now; it is 1:45am here.... 

[ss2000]

Since they did/are doing the 65 GTO and 64 Malibu, the ultimate to me would be a 65 Skylark GS that’s never been kitted. Id settle for the 66 GS though.

[66c10]

I say the 67 c10 pickup truck and the 67 barracuda 

[charger74]

I would like to see amt bring back this one 

[stavanzer]

I want this if we are talking about Matadors!

[Luc Janssens]

71 up to 76 Firebird IMHO would be welcome too.

And what about a clone of the amt '69 Mustang stock and John Wick?

The AMT branded AMX is in fact just a re-boxed Johan kit. That tooling is long gone so unless new steel is cut we won't be seeing this one.

[PintoKING]

Wait, wait!! Didn't they'd recently done a 1/18 diecast "Blues-Mobile" 1974 Dodge Monaco police? So......

Also voting for a modified reissue of their 1969 Oldsmoblle 442 into a 1968.

What about a reissue of the MPC 1/20 "Altered T" AA/FA dragster?

[gtx6970]

How about a 70-71 Dodge Dart

 

Otherwise I Cant say Ive really got much on my radar . except maybe an early Dodge Truck

 

The 68 Coronet  and Demon are 2 I never expected to see again. So Im good

 

A 67 Cougar might catch my interest though as I used to own one

 

If none of the above materialize. Im good. I have MORE than enough to keep me busy till the end of my days.

For me it’s the 1967 Chevy truck. I’d like to see it with the full detail chassis and bench seat interior.

Moebius planning to release a 68 Chevy C10 pickup towards that end of this year.

[tim boyd]

There is at least one project under consideration there that is not in any of the above guesses.  Now as to whether any of those mentioned in the posts above are also on their short to mid-term radar screen, just one that I am aware of, but there's lots under way there that i do not have a clue about, so i guess just about anything is possible.  Only thing I do know for sure is that if you like what you've seen over the last two years, and we all keep buying the "cloned" kits, there is a bunch more styrene car and truck kits under consideration there....TB   

[PintoKING]

I forgot the MPC 1971 Mercury Montego; stock and Nascar. Please!!!!

[Can-Con]

Seeing as the "Mach Won" funnycar is being reissued soon, which has a bone stock body, I wouldn't be surprised to see the stock '70 Mustang Mach1 follow reasonably soon.

BUT, I'd say a '67/'68 Cougar would be a logical new clone.

I'd love a '67/68 Cougar clone.  The MPC '70 Cougar ht and convertible or '70/71 Mercury Cyclone would be great... For something all-new and never done before, I'd love to see a '68-69 Mercury Cyclone.  Never kitted, and never seen in the resin and 3D print world...not going to happen, but would be nice.

I would just die if a 1970-1971 Swinger [340] were to come around ! Arrrg ! So many possibilities - a car which has never been modelled in stock guise ! 

Icing on the cake ? 1971 or 1972 Swinger Special 340 ! Heck the 1972 grille and interior could find their way into the Demon kit, hein ?

Over the past 5-6 years, I've tracked down many of my old MPC grails, through sacred sealed and open originals, decent builtups, tragic gluebombs, dusty promos, and especially, Round 2's loving acts of God.

There still remain a few highly elusive MPC gems I would love love love to get my hands on:

 

[Daddyfink]

Well, since we are swinging for the fences!

You have two of my Grail's there, Stef!

The Barracuda and the Super Charger!

That Super Charger is a kit I built in 1985, and would love to have again.

I need to track one down, and just pony up the money.

I have the ProStreet Barracuda in that exact box, but it is a vintage 1980's survivor, and the body is toast. The "A" Pillars are both broken and now missing pieces. So, the kits is battered but 85% complete, but the body and decals are ruined.

Again, I need to track one down, and just buy it.

Thanks for sharing these.
I should buy them both soon, in order to guarantee will release them next year! LOL

[PintoKING]

Oh, I forgot the AMT 71 Chevy van WITH CAMPER OPTION, please!!!

And what about a modified reissue; MPC '85 or so Chevy pickup WITH 8-foot fleetside bed.

I can dream. BIG! ?

The Barracuda was last released as a curbside (promo and Craftsman-style kit). It would be nice to have it back, but rather than a straight-up clone of the old MPC kit, thought should REALLY be given to at least reshaping the front inner fenders, and creating an engine that will look better than what the old MPC kits had. 

Sticking to the same basic look of the original chassis and engines might have been acceptable with the Coronet and Demon, but these were greater weaknesses for the Barracuda tool. I believe that Round 2 could work up something for the Barracuda tool that can both capture the “annual-style build experience” and also be better in the details than the old Annuals were. For instance, basing the inner fender shapes on what they have in the AMT ‘70 Challenger, and creating a new Hemi engine that looks more like the one in their ‘68 Road Runner kit. 

I am sure they would work on the body (bad headlight buckets, missing front turn signal lenses), as the body on the Demon was a vast improvement over the old annnual. 

Bringing the Super Charger back with such improvements would also be great. While they are at it, they could come up with another body tool for a SE model.
